Let's see.

Well, Mr. Big had in her usual breakfast this morning.

Ms. Duke is not hungry.

She needs to eat.

Are you her, Dr. Mara?

If you are, please tell me so I can turn her care over

to your capable hands.

If not, then I strongly suggest you

perform the duties for which you are handsomely paid or leave.

I may not be your doctor, but neither is he.

Tell him that.

Help me!

Please, Mr. Duke, you'll just calm down.

Help me!

He's killing me.

No one is trying to kill you.

Please.

Please help me go out.

Please.

Nothing's going on in here.

Everything's under control, Mr. Lafford.

You call this bloody control.

If you're unable to do your job, Miss Payette.

I'm doing the best I can.

Excuse us.

Now.

This has got to stop.

Haven't I taken good care of you?

Haven't I arranged around the clock care for you?

Gone out of my way to make sure you're comfortable.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Agitate, that combative.

I think we need to make her more comfortable.

She's not one to go gently to her end.

I'll be expecting you.

OK.

The medication the doctor is giving her

is making her paranoid.

He'll be about to change it.

I'll answer the door when he comes.

As Allied soldiers, under the command of General Dwight

Eisenhower, march triumphantly to the welcoming cheers

of grateful Parisières.

The faint city of life once again

brings the air of freedom.

By the thousands, men, women, and children

celebrate their liberation with the cheers of joy, laughter,

and the pop of champagne for us.

The famous French bubbly sending a clear message

to an anxious world.

The Nazis are on the run.

Hi, Babs.

Hello, darling.

Look at you.

Look at Paris.

Escaping, darling.

My last marriage.

Oh, I heard.

You haven't changed the picture.

But you have.

I am so proud of you.

Me?

Why?

Honey, you've been gone too long.

Back home, you're big news.

Always was, unfortunately.

No, no.

I'm talking about good news.

Your articles for Harper's Bazaar, honey, they are fabulous.

That's me, the working girl.

Doris, who's that?

Oh, god.

That's Ruby.

Who?

Porfirio, Ruby Rosa.

I'm so glad.

When I interviewed him for a magazine article,

I was writing.

He's coming this way after he don't notice.

Oh, gee.

Miss Duke.

Ruby, what a pleasant surprise.

Mr. Ruby Rosa, I'm Barbara Hutton, and I'm not shy.

Nor should you be, Miss.

Pleasure.

Miss Duke, I read the draft of the interviews

that you sent me, and I must congratulate you.

You are a very talented writer.

Well, thank you.

You're a very talented subject.

May I call upon you at some respectable hour?

You could call on me at any hour, respectable or not.

It's ridiculous, Miss.

You are a temptation, but you must forgive me.

Miss Duke, you'll be receiving my phone call.

Ladies.

Ores, please, a bottle of don't care enough for the ladies.

We miss you.

I've got Dave's when you're through with him.

Oh, please, and at the least bit interested.

Where on earth is that waiter?

I am worse not.

Why on earth would you be interested in a handsome,

suave, seductive man with a notorious reputation as a lover?

I can't imagine.

Oh, I am so tired of reputations.

And as far as men are concerned, I've got blinders on.

Now, I can't think of anything that man could do

to make me change my mind.

I have to ask myself, why I should get involved with a man like you?

Like me?

Yes, Jigalow, a womanizer, a man with a notoriously bad reputation.

I'm everything you say I am.

And I'll tell you why you should get involved.

Because Doris, I can take you on a ride that you'll never forget.

So I've heard.

I play swimming on a pedestal, and I don't apologize for it.

I worship women.

And if you let me.

And then what?

Close your eyes.

Oh, dear.

Close your eyes.

All right.

You're not leaving the room, are you?

Ruby?

Oh, I'm not leaving the room.

I'm not leaving the room.

I'm not leaving the room.

Ruby?

Oh.

No.

Yes.

Come with me.

Come.

Stay where are we going?

Just have a look.

No.

We're going.

We're going.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

They're taking me.

Come with me.

Back up.

Uh-huh.

Up.

Go.

Go.

Go.

No.

Give me your hand.

Open your eyes.

What is it?

Open it.

I'll find out.

Oh, my God.

It's Shifa.

Ruby, how did you know that?

Yeah.

While you were busy researching me, I did little hunting myself.

I can't believe it.

You like it?

I can't remember a time when I'm...

A man gave me a present.

Let alone took the time to find out what...

What's important to you?

Tell me what's important to you.

I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before.

I'm asking.

I don't want to be hurt, Ruby.

Well, then you should run to your room, lock your door and spend the rest of your life writing beautiful poetry about a life you've never lived.

A time when no one

live or die.

And aside from being the son of a notorious dictator in 1942, he married Daniel Duryere,

the highest-souried movie star in France and a known Nazi sympathizer.

I can deal with her.

Your paramour, Doris, is being linked to political assassinations, jewel thefts, and the generosity

of wealthy women are unhappy to pay for his services, and I assume that they conclude you.

That was cruel.

I'm sorry.

Then tell me why you're doing this.

Well, if you must know, it's because he's the first man who ever took the time to find

out what interests me.

He thinks I'm beautiful and he tells me so.

He loves me and he makes me happy.

That's the first time I've ever felt that way in my entire life.

There's no way I can talk you out of this.

No, there is not.

Very well.

In the case of a divorce, Mr. Ruby Rosso will have renounced any claim to the Duke fortune.

Why?

In exchange for which...

No, no, no.

I would never ask him to sign that.

He would never sign.

He may love you for all your worth, Dars.

But his perks are going to be limited.

Rumor has it you paid Daniel Duryere a million bucks to get lost.

She actually asked for five.

You're kidding.

That's getting a woman he's ever slept with.

He's worth it.

How much would you take to hand him over to me?

You don't have enough money, babe.

Oh, gosh, I forgot you're richer than I am.

Oh, someone's got a baby.

All right, time for the IDOs.

Oh, hello.

I'm mine.

So we can.

I'm so excited.

I would be able to tell you something about this.

Hello.

Oh, darling.

You're welcome right there.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

Uh-uh.

Mm.

Gentlemen, have some champagne.

Because you're an OSS agent doesn't mean you can't enjoy my wedding.

Business before pleasure, Ms. Duke.

I have a pre-natural for you, Bruno.

I told you he wasn't going to sign that.

I hope he does.

Some of us at the OSS think we ought to just shoot him.

What?

There should anything happen to you while you were married.

This would choose that not only your properties fall, but it was controlled.

Oh, this is absurd.

Your company, Duke Power, provides most of the electricity for large part of the South.

That includes some of this country's largest military installations.

Without this agreement, should you die, all that will come under rue borosis control.

Without this pre-natural, they're not going to let you marry the man.

Oh, well, right.

I just don't hurt him.

Are any of his appendages?

Yeah.

Oh.

How those big men bullying you?

Nobody bullies Doris on her wedding day of theirs.

All we need is your signature, Ruby.

Go to hell.

Unless you sign this, you'll get there ahead of me.

Do you, Porfirio, take Doris to be your wedded wife?

Do love her, comfort her, honor her, keep her in sickness and in health, in prosperity and

adversity?

For better or worse, and for seeking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as you both

shall leave.

I do.

I do.

Good one.

So, sir.

Sheree.

Porfir.

For her love.

Can I have a big boy?

Oh, my.

You like it.

Oh, I love it.

I love you.

Oh.

I love you.

Oh.

I love you.

I love you.

Yeah.

Next step.

All right.

Two.

Okay, keep your eyes closed.

My eyes are closed.

What are you doing?

Here's my head.

Ben.

She's beautiful.

What are you doing?

Here's my head.

She's beautiful.

I love you, I love you.

Let's go.

Take a nice ride in the country.

He's having an affair.

Plural, Babes.

Already.

It's an obsession with him, a compulsion really.

Anyway, it's over.

I'm so sorry.

You're not surprised.

No. Are you?

No, I've never been surprised by rejection.

Some people are, I guess.

But I learned at a very early age to expect it.

You need a quick fix, honey.

You'll find some of that.

No. Not this time.

Ruby was different.

He took me out of myself.

He came along and he said,

close your eyes and I did and it was wonderful.

For a while.

I lost myself along the way.

It's too big a price to pay.

No. No, Babes.

I swear to you, I'll never close my eyes like that again.

Think, can I have him?

I suppose you're going to hold me to the prenuptial agreement.

Well, let's see. I bought you the townhouse in Paris, the polo ponies, the B-52 bomber.

Don't forget the million dollars.

Oh, right. Your allowance.

What is it, Ruby?

Why can't you stop yourself?

You knew what I was, Doris.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. That'll be all.

No man will ever look at you and see anything but your father's money.

The richest little girl in the world.

This joke!

Peter?

Where's my dog?

I don't know. He's always shopping.

Get him on the phone.

It's wrong.

Get him!

Mr. Duke?

Mr. Duke, it's Bernard. Please open the door.

Mr. Duke, you're hurting my feet.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Duke, please open the door.

Mr. Duke, please open the door.

Mr. Duke, you're hurting my feet.

Mr. Duke, you're hurting my feet.

You're hurting my feelings.

You're saying you don't trust me.

Oh, God help us.

I'm sorry.

How is she?

Mr. Duke is going to die tonight.

Is she in pain?

I'm not a bike and help it.

I heard her ask to be taken to the hospital.

There's nothing they can do at the hospital that can't be done here.

Our job is to keep Mr. Duke as comfortable as possible during her last hour's.

During her last hours, is that the doctor's prognosis, Mr. Lafferty,

or yours?

Careful, Peter.

The Duke residence.

Just a moment.

Mr. Duke's lawyer.

For you.

And, son, here, Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you.

That's everything we need.

No one can contest this week.

Anyone can contest anything.

I wouldn't worry, Mr. Lafferty.

You're going to be a very rich man.

One bomber clustering misses.

King Trevor the first field champion, one bomber's down.

Here's the pin move.

Give it to him, Blondie.

And escaped by the block bomber.

Looks like Red got hurt.

Red over to the corner.

An eye jam from Red is looking...

You're right, Mr. Duke?

Didn't we wire Mr. Bromfield that the Dutch elves were dying

and that we'd send a plane to bring him to Duke Farms?

We did, Mr. Duke.

Well, I'm afraid he doesn't want to come.

You made it clear he'd be paid?

You offered him, I believe it was $10,000.

Did he want more?

He said he doesn't want your money at all.

Have a plane standing by.

I'll see Mr. Bromfield, even if he walks in the...

Who the hell are you?

Well, you know very well who I am.

Go away.

Well, who do you think you're talking to?

A trespasser.

Well, I wired you, I was coming.

I wired you right back. I told you not to come.

Well, I left before I got it.

Well, I'll give you a copy of it then.

Don't you think you're carrying this money?

Well, I'll give you a copy of it then.

Don't you think you're carrying this money?

Well, I'll give you a copy of it then.

Don't you think you're carrying this cranky old farmer thing too far?

I guess that leaves me nothing but rich bitch to come back with.

Well, there are those who might agree with you.

And there are those who might agree with you.

Louis Bromfield.

Darras Duke.

Pretty scrappy for a broad.

Thank you.

Change out of that ridiculous outfit I'll show you around.

Farms should be able to support itself.

And actually?

No, ecologically.

The difference between people like you.

Like me.

And people like me is a simple respect for nature.

Well, I have great respect for nature. I've always had respect for nature.

Your Dutch elm trees are dying. Do you know why?

I do.

I know why everything here grows or doesn't grow.

I know the nitrate level of every acre of this farm.

What was the last time you plowed one of your acres?

I'll have you know the Duke Farms is one of the most beautiful farms in New Jersey over 700 acres.

It's an decoration.

Let me see here.

That's what I thought.

You know, for a man who won the Pulitzer Prize writing romantic novels,

you will never win a prize for dealing with humans.

Lady, I consider that a blessing.

Oh, John.

That's your turn.

I just feel that right up and dumping in there.

I hope I don't make a mess of them.

Perfect. Perfect.

You ever heard of frozen vegetables?

You plop them in water and they're done.

Showing peas is good for the soul.

The potatoes are good for the soul.

Showing peas is good for the soul.

The potatoes will be easier.

Are you kidding?

So tell me, what do you grow besides sick elm trees?

Orchids?

More decoration.

I grow them in memory of my father.

He was the finest man I ever knew.

The tobacco king.

Well, he was at one time.

I haven't met many men, I respect.

You attract who you are, Doris.

Do I attract you?

In spite of my better judgment.

Yes.

I hate you to learn how to be beautiful all by itself.

And like man, there's office on natural creations.

There's a stone lost, a stone spirit.

Left to the zone devices, it does quite well.

Very much like yourself.

Oh, come to Duke Farms with me.

I can't.

Of course you can.

You'll stay with me and you'll see my farm and criticize it.

You'll like that.

Doris.

Doris, whatever you're looking for, you're not going to find it in someone else.

It's got to come from inside yourself.

I'm learning that.

You said we attract who we are.

Oh, that's true.

Then, no.

I'd say I made quite a bit of progress.

There's something you should know.

You're married.

Oh, worse.

Oh, worse.

How old was your father when he died?

67.

Well, I don't have that long.

You're sure?

One doesn't leave that kind of information to chance.

We'll talk about the doctors.

No, I'm through talking to doctors.

We'll talk to each other.

Just the two of us.

He might be more than I can handle.

That'll be the day.

So this is Duke Farms.

Oh, yeah, it's a American way.

Cut down the mountain, fill in the swamp, fill the castle, fill it with prep.

Prep.

I don't have time to undo everything.

Who asked you to?

You did.

I got to sit down.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Honey, I feel Chief.

iang, come on.

may I be fine?

My wife,ost nine.

We are an American.

As a big, young man with disabilities.

Alright, noodles.

Sorry.

We should

cook bananas.

Sorry, hello.

M presentation, back away.

We're about�hhh.

Sorry.

wrong before.

I'm a farmer, and I know when things are dying.

I know when it's their time.

And then I think I'll follow you later.

Good Christmas.

Very good.

Here.

Peace.

Peace.

I love you.

Because, while I amrc embodiment in my life ...

I'm so stubborn.

Because it's my nature, and you know how I feel about Nick.

Yeah, you love it so much, you sold the timber rights.

That's right, last week.

I know I bought them.

It is.

Trees are going to stay just where they are, Louie.

And the farmer's going to be just as you planned it.

I'm Muslim.

Ah!

Boy!

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

But I am.

Oh, Louie.

You're those woods you love.

I'm not going anywhere.

MUSIC

Yes?

Larkin's general home are here to pick up a body.

You'll have to wait.

She's not dead yet.

What?

Sir, usually when people call us, there's a body.

There will be, dammit.

There will be.

Mr. Lafferty, there's a problem?

Well, I'm sorry.

What was your name?

Michael, sir, Michael McCarthy.

Because I'm sorry, Michael.

There's been a delay.

A delay?

You ordered a hers, sir.

Not a tax.

I'll tell you what.

I'll ask Peter, I'll shove to make you something nice.

And figure there'll be a healthy tip for you and your partner.

All right?

Yeah, I guess I'll be all right.

That's my boy.

Mr. Lafferty, we can't stay here all night.

What time is it, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock?

She was supposed to be dead by now.

12 o'clock at the latest.

Welcome to the longest night in the history of the world.

Well.

She's still alive, Mr. Lafferty.

If that's what you're asking.

Please excuse us, Miss Bared.

I'd like to be alone with Miss Duke.

What's your hurry?

Can't you leave it for God to decide?

God is tired.

God is very tired.

It's time Mr. Duke gave God a rest.

Why are you hanging on to us?

Let go.

Oh, God.

I've already named her.

Art.

Please forgive me.

Oh!

I'm so very sad.

Ah!

Ah!

When I sleep, when I sleep, I want to be lonely.

When I sleep, I want to be lonely.

There is a girl.

Oh, we're out!

Oh, we're out.

We're in, we're out!

We're out!

Oh!

Oh, we're out!

Oh, we're out!

So wish I could move like that.

It comes from inside.

The spirit loops the hands.

You're going to take your long to learn?

Whoa, I'm still learning with this.

Here, let me show you this.

The wrist is supposed to lead.

If you walk down the wrist tells you first,

and you rub the nose like you know.

That's right.

That's beautiful.

Beautiful hands.

Thank you.

I'm Shandy Hefler.

Shandy.

That's a beautiful name.

It's Harry Kushman, isn't it?

Yes.

It means female energy personified.

I know.

Now, how did you know that?

Well, it's been a lot of time in Asia.

You know who I am?

Of course.

That way you sat next to me?

Sure.

Wouldn't you want to meet Dora's Duke?

You're damn right, I would.

What are you looking for?

My mother asked me that when I changed my name to Shandy.

What is it you want is how she put it.

I said I want some inner peace, Mom.

You know, I want to be happy to wake up in the morning.

I want to sing, I want to dance,

I want to learn, just learn.

Yes, I understand.

I was searching for something outside myself.

That's why I went to India.

Oh, I dream of going back there.

I wanted my life to be different, you know?

Different from the way that she lived hers.

And she agreed.

She said from then on,

my life would be greatly different and then she cut out my trust book.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, so you think that's what I want?

Is it?

Oh, I missed Duke.

I do believe that was a suspicious nature.

I've had practice.

No.

If it was the money I was after,

all I'd have to do is go home and change my name back to Charlene.

Oh.

Oh.

Haven't seen you in two weeks.

Anyone ever take you to dinner?

Oh.

Fabulous.

You know, when we were in class, I watched you.

There was such sadness in your eyes.

You're afraid of people.

Not really.

I just trust them.

Aw.

You can never know what gifts they may have in store for you.

You believe in karma?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I believe in reincarnation.

Thought I once lived in the sea.

I want to be buried at sea.

My daughter.

Your daughter?

Mm-hmm.

My name was Art.

She died in childbirth.

She...

Be about your age now.

After her death, I tried everything.

I turned everywhere.

Always praying that one day, Art and would become part of my life again.

God has surprises for us if we're just willing to believe.

No.

No.

Hello?

No more meat.

No more milk.

No more cheese.

It's all fat.

Okay, it all goes.

Look at this fruit.

Just cut it up and serve it.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Just cut it up and serve it.

You call this healthy?

Trust me.

I do but...

it's also dreams.

You stay on this diet.

Before you know it you will feel 20 years younger.

You'll actually have a lot of life at sea place.

Ye?

Huh?

There's an incredibly spiritual place that I want you to see.

It's very special to me.

I lived here for years.

No heat, no electricity, no phone, everything I ever wanted.

I was just a border here working for my meals, but I loved it.

The owner died about five years ago.

It's wonderful.

This is where I found God.

Have you ever thought when you met someone that wasn't for the first time?

Yes.

When I met you, I...

I felt you had a sense of what I was thinking.

We're kindred souls.

More than kindred.

I'm talking about real spirits.

Talking about...

...I...

Your daughter?

In 30 years, I've prayed she would come back to me.

And now she has.

Her name is Charlene Hefner and I'm adopting her.

As well.

Yes, my daughter.

Draw up the papers, get the ball rolling.

Doris.

Doris.

I like your first husband, unlike Ruberoza.

You can't divorce your daughter.

You can't sign a pre-adoption agreement.

My God, the ramifications are endless.

You know, once she is legally your daughter, you cannot reverse your daughter.

Oh, I have no interest in reversing the adoption.

Let me meet with her, talk to her, find out what she wants.

It's what I want, John.

What about your foundations, your charities?

Oh, Chandéo.

Charlene has gone through my portfolio.

What?

Her brother-in-law's an investment banker, and he's made certain suggestions.

First, I want out of tobacco entirely.

I'm not hearing this.

Chandé, who, like myself, is a lover of animals, has certain charities she would like to support.

Here's the list.

I thought she'd be happy for me, John.

I thought she'd want what was best for me.

I do.

That's why I can't let you do this.

Look how I'll find someone who can't.

I will, of course, as I have done in the past, do whatever you wish me to do.

I will tell you now, Doris, I never mentioned it again, what you are doing is going to destroy you.

I say this as your lawyer and your friend.

You all right?

Well, nervous.

Are you sure this is what you want to do?

Absolutely.

Miss Efter, if you'll sign here, please.

And Miss Duke?

And Miss Duke?

In executing this document, you both have read it, saying you're signing this document on your own free act indeed.

Yes.

Thank you.

Miss Doris Duke, Miss Charlene Duke, you are now mother and daughter.

We're all ready in to work together.

Marvin Deab trains us as the head instructor for Matero's

Tech preliminary Industries.

They're already finished.

She claims to be self-inanna stays in college, where they were accGIaged.

Bernard.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's allowed me, please.

Oh, thank you.

Please.

Thank you, ma'am.

Who is this man?

Bernard Lafferty's a godsend.

I don't care who said him.

Who is he?

Our new butler.

Shandy, you can't go around hiring people off the street.

And what's more, we don't need a new butler.

You may not think so now, but once Bernard takes over and works his miracles, once this

house starts running the way it should, you should have talked to me first.

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

I know, I'm sorry.

I wanted to surprise you.

You've given me so much.

I told you.

No, he's not a stranger.

I've known him for years.

He used to work for my sister.

Well, then turn him back to your sister.

He's had some tough breaks.

Like what?

Well, I have it at the drinking problem.

That's good news.

But it's behind him.

Believe me, he can help us.

When Bernard takes charge, it'll change your life.

Shandy?

Shandy?

What are you doing?

You sleeping.

Oh, but we were going to go riding this morning.

I'm so tired.

Why don't you go?

We were going to go together.

Please.

Go back to sleep.

Nam.

Thank you, Bernard.

Where's Shandy?

Oh, Miss Shandy left a little while ago.

I was under the impression she was meeting you.

Oh, did she say that?

Well, actually, when I asked her if she could be contacted, she didn't reply.

What's this?

Proper lunch, if I may say so, ma'am.

Well, Shandy always prepares my meals.

I'm on a strict diapronaut. Take this away.

Miss Duke, I'm sure Miss Shandy has your best interests at heart.

But frankly, your diet is neither healthy nor...

This, from the man whose idea of dinner is a bottle of Russian vodka.

We all have our weaknesses, ma'am.

But as someone who cares about your well-being...

Shandy does as well.

Whatever you say, ma'am.

Whatever you say...

Mother, what are you doing up? It's late.

It's been late for hours.

I'm sorry, I was talking to friends and I forgot the time.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that I don't know where you go anymore.

Who you see, let alone what you talk about.

Mother, friends.

I'm alone all night.

I'm sorry, but you can't expect me to just...

You're my daughter. If I want you at home, you will be at home.

You don't own me.

The hell I don't.

Oh, duh. I didn't mean that, so I'm sorry.

I just thought we'd be spending a lot more time together.

I'll tell you what.

Tomorrow we'll spend the whole day together, just the two of us, okay?

I'd like that.

And tomorrow night, if you're up for it, we'll have a little picnic,

just by ourselves, right on the beach, right?

Yeah, that would be wonderful.

Okay, then. Good night.

Ms. Chandy said to leave without her back.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Chandy.

Chandy.

Chandy.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

What?

Oh, Ms. Duke.

What's this all about?

I'm very sorry, Ms. Duke.

This will never, never, never happen again.

I certainly hope not.

I want those people off my property, Bernard, now.

But I was told by Ms. Chandy.

I don't give a damn what anybody told you.

I'm telling you.

But Ms. Chandy said specifically I was not to leave.

Bernard, who are you working for? Me or Ms. Chandy?

Frankly, madam, it's difficult to say.

Ms. Chandy likes things her way and so do you.

Get it straight.

Only for me.

Yes, ma'am.

She's changed, Bernard, and I don't know why.

Ms. Chandy's young.

I'm well aware of that.

She notes on you, you know.

She used to.

Well, sometimes the young share their gift of youth,

Ms. Ms. Duke, and in exchange for which they have certain expectations.

The children, especially spoiled children,

will they grow to expect...

How do I say it's...

You already have.

Well, what do you think?

Of what?

Of this? All of this?

What are you talking about?

It's nice. What you like it?

Of course I like it. I love it. I told you that, mother.

Well, it belongs to you.

What?

See that paper over there on the post?

It's the deed.

Made out to Shandy Hefner-Duke.

700 acres at one two-story house.

It's my gift to you.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

And I found you, Shandy.

You didn't know where you were.

You were out of it.

Oh, again.

Oh, I'm impressed.

Bernard, you were missed when I met you.

Look at you.

Well, it was a bit of a bumpy road, Miss Shandy.

It's unlike yours.

But our friends could see us now, huh?

To Doris.

To Miss Duke.

Cheers.

I had no idea she was going to buy me the ranch.

If I'd have known that, I'd have just showed her the whole damn island.

How long have you been standing there?

You'll never know.

Go back to bed, mother.

I think we need to talk.

Bernard, will you show mother to her room, please?

How dare you.

I know damn well where my room is.

How long was she there?

Long enough.

You're getting a little too chummy with mother, Bernard.

You should remember all I've done for you.

For me?

Excuse me, Miss Shandy, but you brought me here to help you with Miss Duke.

Not to rescue me.

But whatever the reasons, I brought you here, and I can send you back.

Good night.

Who ever made the hideous coffee don't do it again?

She asks where I am, just make something up.

Shandy?

It's Bernard, Miss Duke.

Where's Shandy?

She's gone for the day, ma'am.

What do you mean gone for the day? We had plans.

I'm sorry, Miss Duke, but perhaps I can be a service.

Where did she go?

Perhaps Dan's class.

She hasn't been to.

Well, anyway, it looked as if she was going out for a good time.

Miss Duke, if I may be so bold.

No, no, you sound like an 18th century footman.

I know it's not my place, ma'am.

Come on.

Spit it out.

Well, just because Miss Shandy isn't available doesn't mean you have to spend the day alone.

I'm available.

Oh, what?

What's going on here?

If I may, Miss Duke, it's not there for.

The staff, most of them, have been saving food in their rooms.

We're hungry, ma'am.

Would someone tell me what the hell is going on?

Bernard?

Miss Shandy has forbidden the eating of any meat, fish, or chicken by the staff.

The Wobben prison's trick, vegetarian diets.

We've had to sneak food into the house.

I never heard of such a thing.

Why wasn't I informed?

Miss Shandy forbade any of us to talk about it.

Miss Shandy doesn't give the orders here. I do.

You have my deep and sincereest apologies, all of you.

Your diets have ended as of this moment.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

What is going on in this house?

Whatever it is, I'm on your side, ma'am.

Sweet, named them all.

Fishies.

We don't want to wake the dead.

She didn't.

I'm very much alive.

I think you should leave.

Mother, you remember James Burns.

I've just hired him as my new bodyguard.

Bodyguard?

What the hell do you need with a bodyguard?

I apologize for disturbing you, Miss Duke.

James?

I'm going to leave so you two can talk.

No!

It's okay. It's okay.

Stop lying.

I'll come back in the morning.

Okay.

Good night.

Don't you ever do that to me again?

Don't tell me how to behave.

Who the hell do you think you are?

If you're smart, you'll remember one thing.

This is my house!

Getting a little careless, sir.

My God, you spend half your life lurking.

We all have our talents.

Go dive in a bottle.

I'm curious.

How long do you think Miss Duke is going to put up with you?

Until the old lady's dead and in her grave.

Excuse me.

If it weren't for me, you'd be lying in a gutter somewhere.

Probably.

But I'd still be looking down on you.

Be careful, Shandy.

She may find in me what she's always been looking for.

Oh, yeah.

You're her wildest dream, Bernard.

Do your job and know your limitations.

Oh, I do.

And that's where you will fail.

You don't know yours and you greatly overestimate hers.

By the way, you'd be amazed how much one can learn by simply lurking.

Sleep well.

I do sleep well.

And you want to know why?

Because I'm her daughter.

And I have the papers to prove it.

What the hell have you got?

Mom.

No.

He's guarding her body, all right.

Oh, yes, ma'am.

How could she have changed so much?

Perhaps she didn't.

Perhaps she was never what she claimed to be.

She once claimed to be related to Mr. Hugh Hefner of Los Angeles.

Actually, it's the hefner of Maryland.

Maryland?

Maryland.

Good.

It's a beautiful day, Mr. Duke.

Would you hardly touch your lunch, ma'am?

Around hungry.

Frankly, I'm not surprised.

Mr. Duke, I can't keep silent about this any longer.

This is more than depression.

You're just not yourself.

I don't know what you mean.

You used to be so active.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

You used to be so active.

You used to swim every morning, rain or shine.

No.

You hardly get out of bed.

Maybe it's the diet.

I don't want to talk about it.

I think it's more than just the diet.

I think something else is going on here.

Like what?

I took the liberty of sending some of your things out for testing.

Things?

What?

Testing for what?

Certain plates and glasses.

They found...

They found traces of rat poison.

Rat poison?

What are you talking about?

I'm just telling you what they discovered, man.

Oh my God.

Get the plane ready.

We're getting out of here.

Oh, my God.

Doris!

Doris!

Doris!

It's too late, darling.

Where are you going?

It's all over, Shandy.

Everything.

What's he told you?

We're not.

As far as I know, he's told me the truth.

No, from him, he's an old drunk.

What are you?

Your daughter.

Precious.

Of all the things you are, being my daughter is not one of them.

Now, get out of the way.

Mother, please, whatever this is, I mean, we can work this out.

That my dear is an impossibility.

No, it's not.

Just give me a chance.

How many chances do you leave?

Just one more.

I mean, whatever it is you think I've done, I am sorry.

But I tried my best.

I tried to be everything that you wanted me to be.

Everything but honest.

It was like that from the beginning, wasn't it?

Mother, if you would just let me explain myself.

What do you want, Shandy?

I want you to stay.

Why?

Because I love you.

Oh.

I wish you hadn't said that.

You could have said anything and I might have believed you.

I just wish you hadn't said that.

He's the one who should be afraid of not me!

What do you mean I can't?

Of course I can.

I put her in the will I can take her out.

That's true, but that's not the will I'm talking about.

What other will is there?

Her father's.

What does my father got to do with this?

In his will, he stipulated that certain funds would go to his living grandchildren.

He has no grandchildren.

Doris, are you all right?

Yes, I...

What?

His grandchild.

He has no grandchild.

Yes, he does.

As soon as you adopted Shandy, she became his grandchild and heir to his estate.

How much?

Close to $100 million.

Driver to every quarter of the country.

You can do that?

She tried to poison me.

Your blood test came back negative.

It's all in your head, Doris. She didn't do it.

She's a gold wigger.

Had a manipulator.

Stuke!

Stuke!

Good morning.

What happened?

You had a slight stroke, Miss Duke.

It's like...

I feel like I'm in hip-eyed chock.

More like a powder puff.

I can't do it anymore.

Do what?

Any of it.

I just want to die.

No.

No, you mustn't say that.

Why not?

It's proven to be true.

All the people I wanted to let be.

Just wanted my money.

But they said I'd end up just like her and...

Looks like I have.

No, you haven't.

Because you have me.

All right, I'll have.

Miss Duke, I've never had anything in my life. Never.

Wherever I lived, I just worked there.

All I had was three drawers and a dresser.

When I went from house to house,

I could carry my entire life in one bag.

All I had was just myself.

You missed you.

You've had everything.

Everything except yourself.

Now, there's you and me.

Maybe we finally found what we've both been looking for.

fabric can now.

This is me on the Epsomac Side with a good kazoo.

You can carry my own gift for make it feel like you've lost....

Whatever, we're on the EFF.

Dance with your daughters.

But don't give the best to me.

Oh, god.

Oh.

Ooh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Mr. Duke?

Mr. Duke?

Mr. Duke?

Mr. Duke?

Where the hell is she?

Ms. Duke is in the garden.

Well, how can she be in the garden?

She just got home from the hospital yesterday.

Yesterday was three days ago, Mr. Lafferty.

I believe they call it a blackout.

Mr. Duke, this is a pleasant surprise, Matt.

Whoa, Bernard.

We thought we'd lost you.

Uh, I... I apologize.

Feeling... better, are we?

Uh, thank you, yes.

Can you, um, explain this to me?

I'd so appreciate it.

Of course.

But we've been all over this, Mr. Duke.

I don't recall.

Well, when you were very ill, the staff had to be paid.

The security guards, landscapers,

my run, Peter.

I know myself, Bernard.

And you?

Well, yes, of course.

This says you can sign checks.

You can run a household.

Yes, ma'am.

Bernard,

if I gave you the impression

that I needed you

to run my estate,

I apologize.

You have crossed a boundary here.

Miss Duke, excuse me, but...

You've not only needed my assistance, but you've asked for it.

Time and again.

When you were in the hospital, I'm the one who held your hand

and talked to the doctors, fed you,

brushed your hair.

Not as your butler missed you, but as your friend.

You once told me that you needed a friend?

Well, that's what I am.

And if that's crossing a boundary, Miss Duke,

it's the one you asked me to cross.

Well?

How is she?

Well, considering Miss Duke is entering the springtime

of her senility, I suppose she's doing just fine.

I'll go and see if I can do no such thing.

Miss Duke may need something.

Whatever Miss Duke needs, I will supply.

You can't do everything. Nobody expects you, sure.

And let me tell you something.

I'm not about to let either one of you,

or anyone else in this house move in on my...

You're what?

Miss Duke feels safe with me.

She doesn't with me, is that what you're saying?

I've been Miss Duke's maid for over...

I'm her companion.

Since when?

Since she needed one.

And let me tell you something.

All of you ladies, every last one of you, do us a favor.

Die while you're beautiful.

Die while you're wanted.

For God's sake, die before you're old.

Spare us your pathetic indignities.

None of us was supposed to see them.

Playtime will begin.

Like mine, my mou Look!

We love death, just as no need represents.

We love death, just as the onion was such a mess.

You're a mess.

Hey, I know what you are.

You give me one stop, and you're a mess.

I'm triple, I'm triple.

It makes me think when I come to you.

I love you.

My daughter's.

You know I love you.

I love you.

Does mommy love us?

You think you're your father's daughter.

Your father forbid me.

Promise me.

You'll never trust anyone.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Morning, Mom.

Morning, Mother.

It's nice to see you on such a good moon, Mother.

I want a new proof.

The old one is perfectly fine.

It's big.

It's colder.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's perfectly fine.

It thinks it's cold all the time.

I'm cold.

You would be.

I want a new roof.

Copperwood.

If Daddy had wanted a copper roof on this house, he would have had one.

What do you know about what what Duke did?

At least he loved me.

Your father.

I could tell you something about your father.

I have no intention of listening to this anymore.

Don't you walk away from me, young lady.

I'm not finished talking to you yet.

George, come here.

You know, I don't think what Duke was your father.

He was too old, too sick.

Well, you almost never stop it.

It's time I told you the truth.

Your truth.

Where did you get that blonde hair?

Do you remember that scared an avian butler who quit?

I flew all the way to Minnesota just to bring him back here.

That's who you look like.

I'm a bitch.

Have you ever, ever thought about what you've done to me?

All you and Daddy ever told me was that nobody would ever love me.

All I was worth was my money.

Do you have any idea how different my life would have been?

If you were just once told me that somebody might love me for who I was?

Well, nothing you can ever say to me now matters.

Buck Duke was my father and Buck Duke will always be my father.

And nothing you can ever say will change that.

Come back here!

I'm a bitch.

Miss Duke?

Jeffrey Lancer, your mother's attorney.

She left you something in her will.

Me?

I assumed everything went to walk her son.

Except five million to Duke Medical Center and this for you.

This?

Oh, Mommy, it's beautiful.

They're coat off at once.

Don't mess, Mom.

Your father's dead.

Why on earth would she leave you this?

Because she was a monstrous woman.

I let that woman control my entire life.

A selfish, bitter monster of a woman.

And I know just what to do with this.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

I know you can't do anything.

Oh, stop it.

wants to know.

Aggravates, you're not a brave.

Don't you?

No.

I'll kill you.

I don't know.

What?

Money.

It's a...

Christmas.

You...

You'll see.

You'll...

Kill you.

Miss Duke.

Miss Duke.

She's gone, Mr. Lafferty.

We'll need her attending physician for cause of death.

It will be taken care of, Miss Pert.

You're not needed here, Myra.

I thought I'd give Miss Duke a sponge bath.

Peter, please escort Myra to the kitchen.

I should do her hair.

Miss Duke doesn't look nice.

I'll take care of all the necessary details.

Miss Duke will be cremated.

Cremated?

Immediately.

She should have an autopsy, Mr. Lafferty.

There will be nothing of the kind.

What's your hurry?

That'll be all.

Miss Duke wouldn't worry.

I said that will be all.

Which do you think she'd like?

I want her to be happy.

Would you like me to get some of her jewelry, Mr. Lafferty?

No, diamonds don't burn.

Call them or two, eh?

Miss Duke wouldn't be cremated.

She wanted to be fed to the sharks.

Those are her jewelry.

She was afraid of fire.

She wanted to be buried in sea.

She wanted to take the redough.

You should check to make sure that you're giving her what she wanted.

She was afraid of fire.

Miss Duke wouldn't be cremated.

She wanted to be fed to the sharks.

Those are her jewelry.

She was afraid of fire.

She wanted to be buried in sea.

She wanted to take the redough.

You should check to make sure that you're giving her what she wanted.

She was afraid of fire.

Miss Duke is ready.

I'm the death.

448 and.

You don't have to wear that now.

Mother'sfile to protect.

L programs.

Please.

No, no, no

Well, I didn't get my wish, but I so seldom did.

It has to be assumed I was reduced to a pile of ashes

to avoid any annoying post-mortem revelations.

Poor Bernard.

He never much enjoyed the fruit of all his scheming.

Three years later, Bernard's ashes joined mine,

barbing around the Pacific Ocean.

He got the Duke curse along with the money.

Upon his death, his entire estate was returned to the Duke Foundation

for charity.

Of course, Shandy is still around.

Poorer than she hoped, but still $65 million richer than she deserved.

And where am I?

Well, it's kind of hard to describe it.

My father and my daughter are here.

And I'm at peace at last.
